The Bosch AHS 60-16 has an ergonomic design which includes the use of a soft-grip handle. It's also incredibly lightweight (2.8kg) and is well balanced to reduce strain and fatigue. One feature of particular interest is the blade cover which protects the cutting blades from damage (e.g. from walls, the ground, etc.)
